The Lightning SuperBike is equally suited to track days or weekend rides on your favorite back roads. The Lightning SuperBike became the world's fastest production electric motorcycle with the SCTA official World Record of 215.960 mph and a best timed run of 218.637 mph at Bonneville during Speedweek in August.
Lightning is the first company to bring a true electric superbike to the consumer market and has been the first in many other areas. We have focused on developing leading edge technology for the past 7 years. We are a leader in high performance electric vehicle development. Below are highlights from Lightning's product development.
For the first time in history, a major motorsports competition was won by a vehicle powered solely by solar energy. Lightning SB2 SuperBikes demonstrate that alternatively fueled vehicles can compete and win in current competition with currently available technology.
Lightning Motorcycle's CEO Richard Hatfield put this theory into a succinct statement; "Solar energy fueled vehicles are not just a theoretical concept to be realized sometime in the distant future, but a reality today that can compete head to head with gasoline powered vehicles".Deciding to go with solar was an easy decision, it just took some extra effort to execute.

We value and appreciate the support from our sponsors, and thank them for the opportunity to work with them to win races, set world records and develop Lightning's innovative technology. Barracuda offers industry-leading solutions designed to solve mainstream IT problems - efficiently and cost effectively - while maintaining a level of customer support and satisfaction second to none.

I completed my CBT yesterday with Lightning and had nothing but a positive experience. My instructor was patient and informative, and the little interaction I had with the other instructors was positive. I would recommend lightning to anyone and I'm going to be completing my full bike licence with them if they'll have me.
Also to lightning themselves and to my instructor I wish to say a big thank you for getting me though my CBT.

I have wanted to learn how to ride for some time and today was the day! Kyle taught me all the basics for my 125cc CBT and I went from a nervous and insecure newbie to feeling like a badass In under a day. He really took the time to make us all feel safe and he went at our pace. I felt very comfortable asking him questions or asking if I could cover a particular skill again when I was feeling insecure. I am completely under the spell of motorbiking and no thanks to Kyle. I had a wonderful day ☺️ Thanks mate and thanks Lightning ⚡

Overall Summary - Outstanding experience!
After passing the first time both my A license MOD1 and MOD 2 exam, with zero rider faults on the MOD2, it must come down to the outstanding instruction at Lightning Motorcycle Training. I would highly recommend the DAS and CBT course to anyone looking to get their license in the Oxfordshire area. My instructors where Kyle, Mark, and Simon, and all three were very professional, excellent teachers, and a pleasure to ride with during the lessons. I rode with Mark as the instructor for both the MOD 1 and MOD 2 skills days. Mark had the perfect mixture of

Wow what an experience!
From the beginning:
Advised you of my ultimate goal and my complete lack of bike experience. All emails were courteous, and helpful. Thank you ‘Alice and Becky’
Onto day 1:
CBT with Piotr. Very informative and knowledgeable instructor. He gave me the good, the bad and ugly! But encouraged me to improve in the right way for me. He gave those of us on the course time to retry many manoeuvres until we had gained some confidence in them. I did feel as though I may have been holding the other guy back, but he reassured me as well! I completed my CBT day with a pass.

Passed my direct access today and couldn’t be more pleased. I booked the course with Lightning and I am so glad I did. Day 1 Kyle was my instructor. He took me through the basics and gave me my first real insight to motorcycling and by the end of the day I had my CBT. Day 2 - Mod 1 skills and Mark was my instructor. Very patient and has an excellent way of teaching and imparting his Knowledge. Day 3 Mod 1 test followed by day 1 of Mod 2 training and Simon was my instructor. Again he was excellent and with his guidance, by the end of the day I felt very confident in what I was doing. Day 4 - Mod

I passed my full license tests this week after training with these guys. The training experience has been brilliant all the way from CBT to Mod2. The team has helped me massively in building up my confidence on a bigger bike. Big shout out to my instructors as well as the admin team who were super friendly and patient. Thank you guys!

I did my CBT course with Chris from Lightning Motorcycle Training. The administration were incredibly helpful and understanding with the bookings that I wanted to make and made every effort to accommodate my needs.
The training was incredibly professional - perfectly planned out, carefully and patiently explained always giving time for questions and ensuring that the students understood. We all received a good amount of 1 to 1 attention and time to practise the basic skills.
I was quite nervous going out on the road but Chris' calm and measured nature meant that the whole process was actually

Passed this morning through the excellent training provided by the guys at lightning Oxford. I was referred by 3 friends who had all done their bike training via lightning.
I did the CBT to start me off then a 4 day DAS course. Training is very thorough and the staff are excellent at working out where you're at and what you need to do to improve.
They aren't out to just get you through the tests like some training companies, they are there to make sure you are safe on the road. If you aren't, they don't pressure you into something you're not comfortable doing.
Will recommend again and again

Nick is a pro. Excellent ! Had a really great day with our informative and very funny instructor Kevin who turned a long day into a very positive experience. The only issue was my card didn't work on the phone so my friend called up and paid it for me which meant I didn't get the information email sent to me! Apart from that the receptionist were helpful and friendly. All in all huge improvement from the last time in 2008. Keep up the great work and atmosphere guys, really appreciated it.
